CanPlan

I was diagnosed very late in my early 20’s with dyslexia, dysgraphia, math and bad short/long term memory. So retrieving and hold information verbally is extremely hard for me. This app seems to help with that. Letters are large and I can add whatever image to that task I want. Remembering appointments, events and other minor task like ‘remember to close/lock window’ or make sure ‘remember to turn-off stove”. Its helpful. My only complaint is I should have excess to my own photo library. Taking photos one at a time for me is mentally draining for me.

Very easy app to navigate and create visual schedules for individuals with disabilites. And did I mention it's FREE! Occasional glitches when freezes in photo selection mode on iPhone, but just close app, reopen and all good. Nice to break down steps of task for individual who needs step by step direction. Allows you to check off as complete each step. Look forward to trying it on our iPad.

CanPlan is barrier breaking piece of technology. The app will move individuals with disabilities or memory challenges towards independence like no other piece of technology that I have seen so far. Increase independence in a person's daily living including: life skills, job skills, and any other task in a persons day that might need a step-by-step guide with time and day reminders/alerts. Powerful!
